About Facilitation

The company name, Facilitation, is a bit of a play on words. We often deal with Facility Managers, but we also facilitate the management and successful completion of projects and tasks. Our clients find that getting us involved as early as possible makes their lives easier. Having a professional handle your move, office re-design or furniture sourcing is the smart decision, especially if you make that decision right from the start.

Facilitation was created in 2007 to fill the need for so many areas of running a business that don’t warrant a full-time employee. Most companies don’t move to new locations on a regular basis, so odds are that there is no one within the company who has ever managed a move before. Our company has been built on the fact that if you hire a professional at the beginning of the project, you will save yourself and your company time and MONEY!

We offer a full line of professional services from lease negotiations to window treatments, and we can jump in with the right resources at any point in your project. We aren’t greedy. If you have hired someone to handle other aspects of a project, we will make it our goal to work smoothly and efficiently with the other contractors. Every one of our hand-picked professionals pride themselves as being team players with the common goal of the successful completion of your project.

The Principal of Facilitation, LLC, is Susan Halpin. Susan has a background in Finance, Contract Furniture and Design. To read more about Susan, check out her LinkedIn page – www.linkedin.com/pub/susan-halpin/18/306/67b.

Project Management

Whether your project is a move of an office and manufacturing facilities or having a glass top for your conference table made, we are hands on from start to finish. We will be responsible and accountable for anything and everything that it takes to successfully complete your project.

Our expertise includes:

- Identify scope of project

- Present cost-effective solutions

- Evaluate bids and recommend best choices

- Manage entire process

- Serve as a point of contact for you

Move Management

These days, the person in charge of moving an office or company probably already has a full-time job within the company and likely has no experience with moving on this scale. We completely understand, and that is why we take on as much of the move as the client wishes. There are so many issues that need to be handled and the ability to forecast these issues can only come with the years of experience that we have in moving. Here are some of the responsibilities that we will handle for you:

- Prepare a move budget and move schedule

- Identify and coordinate your IT, communications and security needs on both ends

- Help you choose the best move contractor for your specific needs

- Communicate move responsibilities and move schedule to you and your employees.

Space Planning & Design

- Review existing or develop new standards for office space utilization based on the specific needs and desires of your company

- Provide creative ideas to help you design a space that is both functional and visually appealing

- Provide you with detailed drawings so that you can visualize ideas and make quick and easy changes to the design

Furniture Sourcing

- Determine your budget for furniture and work within that budget

- Establish a time frame for your furniture needs and provide solutions that will meet your schedule

- Use my extensive resources to find new, used, remanufactured or a combination of all three types of furniture to fit your space and your budget

- Secure furniture for future use if your project will be completed in stages

- Store your furniture in a warehouse until you need it

Workplace Health & Safety

This is how we’re keeping great spaces healthy, clean, and safe:

1. Disinfect to Protect:

Our in-house Cleaning Team uses a disinfectant that’s on the EPA’s list of hospitalgrade disinfectants to kill bacteria and viruses, including COVID-19! Special tools allow for FULL wall-to-wall coverage, disinfecting your space from top to bottom to protect your team.

2. Safety Signage:

From social distancing markers to new room usage guidelines, wayfinding and more, our Branding team is helping organizations create the necessary signage to keep your team safe!

3. Physical Distancing (6-Foot-Separation):

We know that our workspaces need to keep 6+ feet between our guests and employees, and we have the knowledge and expertise to help you make that happen! Whether it’s rearranging existing furniture, helping you store what you don’t need, or adding new pieces, we’re here to help create a safe space (that follows government guidelines) for your organization!

4. Work-From-Home Products:

As we all get back to work, we can help you keep your team comfortable and healthy with work from home furniture options. Whether you’re going full or partially remote, we have products in various budget ranges that can help you maintain your culture and associate experience!design
